Swaraj Party

The Swaraj Party was a nationalist political party in India that was founded in January 1923 by Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru. Its foundation was caused by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress' disavowal of all acts of disobedience following the murder of British policemen; the leaders of the Swaraj Party sought to continue the civil disobedience campaigns. The party sought greater self-government and political freedom for the Indian people, and the party gained a majority in the Central Legislative Assembly, as well as in some provincial assemblies. However, the British colonial administration continued to implement unjust policies. The party disintegrated after Das' death in 1925, and it was recognized as the political wing of the INC in 1925.
